    My H1B old petition has i94 validity till 06/2021 which I applied only for me.
    I relocated to another location and applied for amendment/extension for me/H4(H4 i94 expired 06/2019)
    My current amendment is in RFE which I will reply only by 03/2020.
    By the time USCIS takes a decision H4s i94 would have crossed 240 days.
    My question is that whether H4 can stay beyond 240 days with my old petitions i94 which valid till 06/2021?

    Thanks.
    You can stay in the US for as long as an Extension of Status application is pending, no matter how long it takes (even if a year). This is true for all statuses.

    OP has EOS (Extension of Status) filed, not AOS. And if a non-frivolous EOS/COS/AOS is denied, unlawful presence starts accruing as of the date of the denial, not as of when their I-94 expired.
